With all his anxiety for Varhamentary Reform, the avow ed otnect: ot his tootiot„ as oeiginally Innbuneed, th , .! I Gentleman thought - proper to shift i bis t;round, and with depth of design, and dexteri ty of cxecution, l,e now came forw i ard with a 0:O -rme tuLasaie, witti a nieasorp that was only a prelb. mit.iry to the attainment of his great.end. Neither would testate the sort of reform he wished for, but merely dwelt upon the necessity of a general reform, as arising, front recent opinions which had sprung d:sclosures shade by a recent investigation; but here he had to Observe, that although public opinion, when le4itimately pronOunced, was always to be respet-ted, yet the Influence that was supposed to Baud. guicled that House on that decision, might, in 'great ',measure, have been misunderstood. For other causeto hart wlhit were imputed to corruption , for other prodileCtions than those which were sup, posed to be !her. Wed upon tended to that decision. It spoke of the power of that House in terms not to 100 rniscooceived. It preyed that there was nothing SO high that might not he brought under the juris dietion ofthat House. It proved that even the in timation of its disapprobation bad produced as great an erica as could have been brought about by its west direst and severe ammadversion. 'Good:GOd ! was this then the period to suppose that the cha taiaer of the House of Commons was lost ; and that every, the most hazardous, experiment should he ' made to relieve it. Still it was the character and the influence of that House, that achieved all our blessings; arid distinguished the charader and the condition of this country from that of any other country in the world ; and was the source from which such blessings flowed to be described only ,as corrupt, to be stigmatized only as a sink of cor ruption, an objed of alarm and disgust ? Of what ever atoms such 'a body was composed, whether it was the result of some grand design, or merely the offspring of their fortuitous concurrence, it mattered not. Out of it grew the marked character, the vital principle which distieguished this country from all others, and which operated as the perennial source of blessings unknown to• any other nation. Was this a thing to be wantonly or .4 ickedly trifled with ? The Right Hon. Gentleman concluded, by suggesting a mode of combiniug in one both the mi. ginal motion and the amendments that were propos ed to it. Mr. MI - et :snot.; spoke at some length in fav'mr of.the ta.iginal motion, hut scarcely a word of what be uttered could be heard, from the' impatient cry that prevailed for the question. Mr. P. Mooou contended, that by negativing the questien, not ,only would the House fail in vindi cating the character of the two Members against wbotn it was direded, but that by . such a decision they.would sacrifice the charader of the House it self. giien to the people. Tilt: Generals there are SotliT, Lasouna, - and 1,o:sox. Accounts have also been received frOm'Catalonia, that the ,General in Chief, WFDINO, the Marquis LA ZAN, and FRANCItiCO PALAIOX i haying formed a . .itK(.tion with an army of a,1,060 men, are driving every thingbefore them. The regiments of Gun& left Sacavern on Sunday last for Ahrandre, about eight leagues further up the Tagus; since which they have confirmed their route towards Oporto. • , General BE'RESPORD, at the head of the Portuguese troops, is advancing by the same.direalion. 1 believe he is at Tantaren, or Tam 4. • It is thought by those movements that General WELIASLEYbad landed some- troops on the coast: Some regiments of cavalry came into the river yes terday, which, it is said, le►t England with Sir A. WELLESLEY, but we are not yet certain that such is the ave. Several more Generals and. Governors have been deteettd of treachery, and there is elery reason to suppose that this • country would have been sold,. if the Portuguese soldiers had not placed themselves under the command of British Officers.
